Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Generously season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Create a three-bowl breading station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs mixed with Dijon mustard, and one with crushed pretzels.
